Will Bush be able to find any institution to back him for a measlie $500,000,000? I wouldn't think so. Mental Hospitals as "the Bush"? I like it but it is being insensitive to the residence or "the Bush." I would prefer to call the penitentiaries "the Bush." I hope I haven't confused the issue. How about what ever catches on in your nick-of-the-woods? This is really interesting! Will Bush be able to find any institution to back him for a measlie $500,000,000?

I wouldn’t think so.

Yes, that’s a good place for the documents.

I thought $200,000,000 was expensive. Five-hundred-million? Wow! Wow! Wow!

I think it’s safe to say Dubya will OUTDO Bill all right:

1. Number of lies told.

2. Number of soldiers killed due to his incompetence and faulty judgment.

3. Number of administration scandals.

4. Number of dollars missing from our national piggy bank.

5. Number of friends reaping huge financial rewards.

6. Number of family members reaping huge financial rewards.

7. Number of icebergs melting in various oceans around the world

8. Number of lethal UV rays getting through the vanishing ozone layer.

9. Number of endangered species taking their last breath.

10. Number of his own party loyalists abandoning him in droves.

Everything George does is a big number.

GEORGE SURE DID A BIG NUMBER ON US.

Believing as I do in the separation of church and state, I don't think that it's appropriate for any Presidential library to be closely affiliated with a religious-based institution such as Southern Methodist University -- but especially not one associated with George W.
